Abstract excerpt
Two promoters of the murine methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (Mthfr), a key enzyme in folate metabolism, were characterized in Neuro-2a, NIH/3T3 and RAW 264.7 cells. Sequences of 189 bp and 273 bp were sufficient to achieve maximal activity of the upstream and downstream promoter, respectively. However, subtle differences in minimal promoter lengths and in promoter activities were observed between the...
